The Heist
They had been investigating for weeks, planning and setting up for what seemed like forever. But now was the time for everything to go into action. One team dressed up and settled into various undercover positions in the casino- including Lion himself over at the slots, in case he needed to call Greta and let her know someone was calling her out. Though hopefully, word of mouth would find her first.
Another at the bank, Mona using her Executor weapon to prove they could break-in at any time. It was all or nothing now- either way Greta was about to learn there were way more Executors than she previously assumed.
That is, if the Executors were right in their assumptions. But after last time who knows what might happen...

Hopefully.
Provided she doesn't turn into a Revenant right then and there anyway.
[ but no time to worry about that or dwell on how much he might have just fucked up. ]
I'm going to try and get the kids out of here as fast as possible then. You all do what you have to on your end of things, but hopefully it'll all be over soon.

[ Yeah, Monarch heard the sigh. Is everything okay? It does not sound like everything is okay.
Oh no. He messed up, didn't he. ]
no subject
H-How is the transfer coming along, Monarch? Is it done? Because I... not to alarm you, but I'm afraid I may have messed up a little bit.
[ Not you. Him. ]
no subject
[ He doesn't follow. No one is coming after them. Transfer (at least for now) seems to be going OK. All Achilles-san did was send a....message....
....wait, there's something about that....it's on the tip of his tongue....
(He did not get the ping because he has his sound off.) ]
no subject
[ Uh oh. ]
Did you... send a message to everybody?
[ She's not mad. ]
Including everyone at the casino and the heist?
[ SHE'S JUST DISAPPOINTED ]
no subject
...
[ Your disappointment is what stings most of all. ]
...I... just thought it would be prudent to let everyone else know how things were coming along......
[ There goes his cool and smart dad image FOREVER. ]
It may be nothing! I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t think everyone’s phones would be set to some kind of quiet mode. [ And there in lies the actual problem, doesn’t it? ] It felt like a very sensible assumption to make!
...But still we should probably hurry. Just in case.
no subject
Well, at least things are coming together well. Even if things go a little haywire, as long as Ruin ends up with all her money, then...
[ ...
Rei trails off looking both thoughtful and also very worried. Not a great sign! ]
no subject
[ Monarch does another check of the transfer. Please finish soon! Is there any way he can speed it up?
...Probably not, huh. But the others could now be actively in danger!
It's all right, he tries to tell himself. It's all right. Even if they're confronting the Authority, they're together. Lion-san is there. Lion-san is very strong.
Now that the danger is much more present, he's shifting from anxiety to finely honed nerves. Come this point, they have to succeed. ]
no subject
He moves a bit closer to her. ]
Darling? Is something wrong?
no subject
[ She hesitates just for a moment but then ploughs on, tripping over her words in a way that suggests her brain is running about a hundred miles ahead of her mouth. ]
N–nothing's ever gone out of Vault Zero before, right? Money just goes in but – wouldn't Greta need to get money out, even just for bets to the casino? So–
What if she has another account?
no subject
[ And then he just. Pales. Because that makes perfect sense. A lot of sense even.
And also could mean that the Authority isn’t guaranteed yet at all. ]
M-Monarch! Is there any other account that might possibly belong to Greta?!
please imagine furious typing and clicking montage here. Intense Computing
No. No, he is not going to regret the past when everyone's futures are on the line. Monarch turns back to the computer, furiously scanning, checking, thinking. ]
I'll find it!
[ He's trying every clue he can think of. Transfers in and out that match her known winnings at the casino....what about payments to the theater? She's a regular. Wouldn't she have to buy a ticket, and presumably an expensive one too?
And of those, do any have any identifying traits with Vault Zero...? ]
https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/176/251/4d7.png
And then, quite abruptly, hidden in perfectly plain sight is Greta's account. It's even under her own name and everything and when Monarch access it...
Uh, well.
There's a lot more money moving around in the account, for one. Payments and transactions of all sorts, the kind you'd expect to see from a person actually using their money instead of just sitting on it.
There's also just a lot more money full stop. Vault Zero had an absolutely ludicrous amount of money, sure, but at least that was a value you could look at and understand. In this account, the total just glitches out and fluctuates every few seconds. There's so much money that the computer just deadass can't even display it.
This is the source of Greta's Authority.
no subject
First: how did he not think of doing this sooner.
Second: THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY. ]
no subject
He was debating using his phone again before, wondering if it would make things worse... but this is important. Everyone needs to know.
And so hey, this asshole is back in the chat: ]
GRETA HAS A SECOND ACCOUNT
ITS NOT OVER YET

But internally he is a mess and is struggling not to break down. He thought he was being smart earlier, but he probably just went and fucked it up for the other team. And now there's this happening and he just doesn't know what to do. He doesn't understand technology well, he has no idea what could be done and he wishes more than anything that Chiron or Phoenix or any of the other adults were here in person to help make sense of what he's seeing.
He just has to keep talking with them from afar for now, and try not to have a worrywart meltdown about the casino group. ]
I dont know
the numbers are constantly changing,its never the same amount
There might not be a physical account. It looks like magic
I dont know what to do
we definitely need more time

[ Monarch puts a hand to his chin. He furrows his brow. Every possible Anime Boy Is Thinking Now Body Language Tic is being fulfilled in pursuit of their objective. ]
It has to stay where it is........
[ ....wait. Monarch moves his cursor up to the "Account Holder Identification" fields. If they can't transfer the money, that narrows what they can change. If what they can change has narrowed....
Then isn't there only.....
(he clicks "edit")
this? ]
no subject
It works.
... Or at least, it lets Monarch punch in the information necessary to make the change. Type at the speed of light, Hackerboy!!
